Don't Make Me Think
by Steve Krug · Published 2000
One of the best UX books for grasping a simple principle: a user should never have to spend extra thought just to use your product. Short, practical, and still entirely relevant to web and product design.
What works
- Extremely practical.
- Short and accessible.
- Excellent principles for web and product design.
- Still relevant decades after publication.
What doesn't
- Some examples are dated.
- Focuses primarily on usability rather than the full UX discipline.
- Doesn't go deeply into research or interaction design theory.
Good interfaces reduce the amount of unnecessary thought and decision-making required from users.
